But there seemed to be no vitality in the market and . prices were accord ingly depressed. f No encouragement seems probable for a while yet, from the spot situa tion, for buyers and sellers seem to be as far apart as ever and the only hope for the future as far as this branch of the trade is concerned, doubtless lies in a further widening of prices between the local and foreign market, »thus giving a more profitable working basis for the exports. Even though prices continue to show easi ness there can be no doubt that the temper of the trade generally shows a marked improvement. The attitude assumed seems to bear evidence that, in a majority of opin ions, the decline has well nigh run its course, and should some new strength develop, the presence of the spinner in the market would be a natural consequences, as he would no longer pursue his hand-to-mouth pol icy but become a more potent factor.

'Phone 17. New Orleans, Jan. 31.—The Liver pool market has shown on more than one occasion the favorable view exist ing there of present market conditions and prior to the opening of the Amer ican rings when through manipulation prices became easier the foreign mar ket not only meets all expectations but in many cases exceeds the most hopeful views entertained. Such has been the course of the market there this morning, while showing a due advance of from 3 to 4 points, gradu ally declined until the dose showed a bard gain of one point over yesterday, while the excellent spot business clone, 15,000 bales, at one point de cline, more than compensates for any easiness displayed by the course of options. Cables pointed to the good demand for spots continuing and rather expressed the opinion that while spinners were large buyers, they nevertheless had a goodly stock on hand. The selling power in evidence in the local market today was due in all probability not so much to any well- defined liquidation as to the fact that longs who had bought for a scalp had become nervous and were trying to get out. On n slight improvement no ticed later in the day the same scalp ing conditions prevailed this time In the, nature of a support emanating from those who argued that the mar ket. had a good threshing out contin ued Improvement, was but natural. British spinners continue to do bus iness at the same old stand. Liver pool sold 15,000 bales today. Futures were 4 better, just as due. SHORT PRICES ON SHORT LOTS.

Mid-Winter Stove Sale Early cables said: "We see no vea- son for any further decline. Every body is running on full time and mak ing money.” Everybody happy. The Liverpool ring is far more friendly to cotton than our American pits. It looks strange that the market should decline when foreign spinners who can spin the stuff and make 25 per cent, are willing to pay the price. / It is said that Price just managed to "skin out” on his big deal. Our opening was dull at decline; Hubbard and Wilson selling heavily. If spot holders continue to sell we will see some awful drops in this mar ket. It begins to-look as if the planters will stand by the Asheville price of 11 cents instead of the New Orleans 15c mark. Director North has agreed to turn all data on which the last ginners was made over to a committee; of the Southern Growers’ Association. We will now know where the padding was done.
